Odds are 9/5 you'll regret it in the morning........

If you like her its a good move, also drinking a pint of water before you go to bed might be a good move too.

And a couple of nurofen on the locker for the morning.

Daqster · 13-12-2013 3:09am

And people say she's just a big pair of tits.

sabat · 13-12-2013 3:53am

Ha! I bumped into someone walking down the street the other morning cos I was looking at the poster for the gig a bit too carefully. You can see a bit of boob where she's busting out of her blouse.

That's it in a nutshell - if you want to see a legend great , money well spent. If you want to hear that legend sing however buy her albums . Her voice is way past it's best.

kneemos · 13-12-2013 4:01am

Born in 1946.

LoonyLovegood · 13-12-2013 4:20am

Brilliant idea. If only I had the money for it!

Am in the middle of a huge glass if water now, work in 4 hours is not going to be fun

Dolly is a legend. Like most legends their songs are better covered by someone else...here's my favourite cover of Jolene

Catch her while you can, she won't be touring forever.

The opposite could be said for Alicia Keys who I am going to see tonight.

Please merge with the boasting/smug bastard thread.

She still alive?

Yes, despite a recent car crash where the car was not equipped with air bags, Dolly escaped unscathed. It is believed her personal funbag system deployed instead.

Very little left of the original Dolly.

We have the technology.

theblaqueguy · 13-12-2013 6:57am

It could be worse OP

You could of bought tickets to see Justin bieber or one direction!
So compared to them you made a great choice

everlast75 · 13-12-2013 7:03am

If the tickets are in the front two rows, chances are you'll feel a right tit

Merkin · 13-12-2013 7:29am

It was a brilliant move, Dolly is a legend and I intend to grab me a couple as well.

Frank Black · 13-12-2013 8:11am

Going to see Dolly - you lucky sucker.

My god what a cover version.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 13-12-2013 8:39am

No hangover (yet) and feeling strangely positive about the idea now. Although my friend is now talking glitter pink stetsons, high feels and cut-off denim shirts. She'll look fine in them, but me 'm not sure about.

gobnaitolunacy · 13-12-2013 8:45am

I like her style..

"If I have one more facelift, I'll have a beard!"

"If I see something sagging, bagging, and dragging, I'm going to nip it, suck it and tuck it. Why should I look like an old barn yard dog if I don't have to?"

"It takes a lot of money to look this cheap."

Teyla Emmagan · 13-12-2013 8:46am

Saw Dolly last year, she was absolutely amazing. Had the whole Point depot on their feet giving it loads by the end of the night.

More mixed crowd than I had expected but still a lot of wans with the pink cowboy hats on, would not have been into it myself. No denying everyone had a great time though.

I support this decision!

You should have asked them

Why'd you come in here looking like that. . . .?

shamrock55 · 13-12-2013 9:07am

You must have been severly pished if you were able to start a thread at 3 in the morning

With your cowboy boots and your painted on jeans. All dressed up like a cowgirl's dream :-)

danniemcq · 13-12-2013 9:43am

Doesn't she donate childrens books to under 5's or something for free in the states?

Ilyana 2.0 · 13-12-2013 9:51am

I wholeheartedly endorse your drunken decision. And I'm a bit jealous!

Here's hoping I find some tickets in my stocking on Christmas morning

Bloody Hell! That Princess Consuela Bananahammock must have a right pair of Tits if Dolly Parton can't compete with her :pac:

Birneybau · 13-12-2013 10:53am

Think I'll grab a pair myself...

Oh, it's a concert.

It took a lot of concentration, I assure you. Let's alos be thankful i wasn;t the one typing in credit card details.

She is very talented in fairness, but a whole gig might be a bit much
If you're lucky, she might even rap for you. Although my cringe sensors won't let me watch

Tony EH · 13-12-2013 12:01pm

I generally cannot stand country music. It begins and ends with Patsy Cline for me.

But, I'd have quite a bit of respect for Dolly. She came from absolutely nothing and made something of herself, with more than her fair share of bumps (no pun intended) along the way. She also seems to possess a healthy degree of self-depreciative humour, which is always good to see in people involved in her business.

I'm not mad about her music though, but 'I will always Love You' beats the shit out of that warbling drivel that Whitney spewed forth, that's for sure.

I wouldn't pay shillings to she her in concert though. But if you're on for it, go for it.

123balltv · 13-12-2013 12:33pm

Clever woman, a kind business woman too

she sang her heart out on
I will always love you the version I like.

walt_white · 13-12-2013 12:33pm

women from the southern states of america are terrific anyway and dolly is incredibly charming and a great singer

Call Me Jimmy · 13-12-2013 12:34pm

As a result of this thread I've been singing jolene to myself all morning. GAAAAY

great song though.

MadsL · 13-12-2013 3:12pm

She is Miley Cyrus's godmother...

I really wish Miley would go back to Country, she has an amazing voice for it and it is her true musical roots.

And why the hell does boards not have a Country Music forum, so much more to it than the dreadful Mike Denver.

Well, two legends really. My God, I just looked at a few recent photos ....... wtf has she done to her face? From being a nice looking Southern belle, she now looks grotesque. Her make up crew certainly earn their money.

A severe case of body dysmorphia. Should have seen a shrink instead of the plastic surgeon. What exactly drives people to do this to their bodies?

Have a gander. Just over 1 minute long. If too busy :rolleyes: go to 27 secs

So I believe. With pop up diddies in case they are hungry

The Th!ng · 13-12-2013 10:54pm

Years ago I read an article in an issue of Reader's Digest entitled 'Dolly Parton's Coat Of Many Colours' about her life and times and it made for great reading. Dolly has truly earned her legendary status and, in my humble opinion, is one of the last great entertainers.

Enjoy the concert.

I can't understand Ireland's obsession with boybands and Louis Walsh type acts. Mike Denver is nothing but a Westlife style act with a Celtic/Irish music/folk flavour and a cowboy hat on him. He is famous because Tubridy and the like make him so. Plus, his song 'Day of my return' is a total cash-in on the then popular 'Galway girl' written by Steve Earle.

I am not a fan of any manufactured pop music sound and Mike Denver is a prime example of a soulless pop singer produced by some Louis Walsh wannabe who wants to ride on the wave of 'Westlife folk style' and further pollute Irish music.
